New year, new achievements!

YTT/YCHC purchased a property to solve problems such as lodging for incoming providers and lack of office space for the Yakutat Tlingit Tribe.

"The Jacobson Building" Project

Both, the Yakutat Tlingit Tribe and the Yakutat Community Health Center were in need of additional space.

The first floor of this three-story structure, will be designated as YTT office space, second and third floor will provide housing options for incoming YCHC providers.

Introduction to our new Patient Experience Department

YCHC now has a Patient Experience department with two full-time staff. We would like to introduce Lina Allen, Patient Experience and Quality Improvement Coordinator and Kristy Supsook, Patient Advocate.

Lina is responsible for ensuring Yakutat patients have a positive experience when accessing services at YCHC. We have a new survey (QR code below) where your feedback after an appointment is particularly valuable.

Please know we welcome any feedback, anytime. If you would like to provide feedback not related to a health center visit, please call Lina at 907-314-2345 or email lallen@y-chc.org. Your feedback will be consistently utilized for improvement efforts.
